Summary: Pixar did it again
Review: What can I say? This movie is fantastic. Although probably not appropriate for the youngest of viewers, those over age 8 or so will get a kick out of Pixar's newest twist: those monsters in your closet are actually scared of kids!! This movie follows two of the monster world's "Top Scarers" as they try to find a child who has escaped into their world -- without anyone else finding out about it. Billy Crystal and John Goodman are both excellent as Mike and Sully, the main characters. Also, the voice actress for Boo, the little girl, is spectacular. This is the first movie that I have ever seen to use "baby talk" realistically, and also with humor. This movie will give both adults and children something to laugh about. As for features, there are some good featurettes included that explore "The Making Of...", plus an added scene or two. I wasn't that impressed by the "extras" but the movie itself is DEFINITELY worth it!!

Summary: The best movie I've seen in YEARS!
Review: If you look at my other Amazon[.com] reviews, you will notice that I don't review movies and truth by told, I watch very few movies. Perhaps 2-4 per year, including both in the theater and at home on video or DVD. I'm just not a movie fan. But tonight, we rented the Monsters Inc DVD and I absolutely loved it! Clever, hilarious, touching, innovative, unique, imaginative - those words don't begin to tell about this movie! You just have to see it. It's such a pleasure to see a G-rated movie doing so well, both at the box office and also sales of the products for home viewing. This movie is totally free of sex, profanity, and substance abuse. Some of the action could be called violence, but not in the sense we usually define violence in movies! This movie might scare a 4-year-old, however. You need to know your own child to know if he's ready for this action-packed, laugh-a-minute masterpiece! I watched this with my husband and two of our older kids (ages 19 and 21). We all enjoyed this movie immensely and can't wait to watch the extras on the other DVD. I can actually see watching this movie again, as the humor flies fast and furious and I know I missed a some good lines! You will be touched by the relationship between Sully (the big blue monster) and the little girl he affectionately names Boo. He puts her safety above his job and above the good of the company. This little girl they created is nothing short of charming and endearing. You will instantly love her and cheer Sully on as he does everything he can to protect her. The premise of the movie - that the Monsters collect screams of children which in turn power the city that the Monsters live in, is nothing short of genius. This DVD would be a great gift for many people on your Christmas List - regardless of their age!

Summary: For the kid (and techno-geek) in all of us
Review: In Toy Story, we had toys coming to life, now we learn that there really are monsters lurking in kids' closets. Every aspect of this production, from the story, the animation, the effects, the voice actors, the music and sound design, is well executed and it all fits together wonderfully. The final breathtaking and hilarious set piece in the door vault must be seen to be believed. My favorite bit of casting is Steve Buscemi as the lizard-like Randall, and using a real child to portray "Boo", which lends more credibility to her character. Disc 2 is a feast for those who love behind the scenes features. Pixar's funky offices, their pet monkey, and the executives riding around the halls on scooters make it look like a fun place to work. Unlike many DVD extras, you get a genuinely informative crash course in how these films are made, as well as fun frivolity to explore, the most obscure being a playbill for Mike's company play and an orientation to Monsters, Inc for new employees.

Summary: Great animated fun by the makers of Toy Story
Review: DISC ONE: For moviegoers during summer of 2001, the marquee was packed with animated options: Shrek, Atlantis, Final Fantasy and Monsters, Inc. If you disect the movies, the first two end up being dissapointing when viewed in the small screen and Final Fantasy is just made with a different public in mind. Now, Monsters, Inc. achieves in DVD format the same feel you got when you (hopefully) saw it in theaters: the movie IS a great movie for all ages. No bells and whistles: simply brilliant! The script is very funny, clever and innovative (it is worth seeing on the DVD how much it evolved from the original treatment it was going to have...), turning around the ageless childhood fear of monsters into a fear of kids BY monsters, who need kids' screams in order to power their society. Top ranking scarer, big, blue and furry Sulley (voiced by John Goodman) and his one-eyed assitant, Mike Wazowski (brilliantly played by Billy Crystal) see their "monstrous" lives turned around when Sulley accidentally brings a little girl (Boo) by accident into their monster world. Complementing the script and the voices, the animation is incredible. The faces of the characters, the blinking of the eyes (the red in the eyes, when Mike sprays antibacterial stuff on his face, the glassy look in Sulley's eyes toward the end of the movie), the fur of Sulley (every hair moving just as if he were real), the illumination all through the movie. Plus the persecution scene leaves you speechless: there's SO MUCH happening in it, and it's so seamless: one of the great animation accomplishments of the movie without any doubt. DISC TWO: One element that powerfully called my attention is the very human (is that ironic or what?) touch that the second disc has. For example, the Director, the two Co-Directors and the Producer appear in the very beginning, showing you how to find your way around the DVD. It's not that it's a convoluted DVD or anything of that sort: simply the two discs are packed with all sorts of goodies and they are making an effort to have you find it all. One of the best things included in disc 2 is the Oscar-winning animated short film "For The Birds" which we all enjoyed in theaters so much right before Monsters started. Also included are the complete outtakes (call them "bloopers" from the movie, if you may, whose concept alone makes you scratch your head in surprise while you laugh till it hurts). But the fun to disc two doesn't end there: there is a wealth of details for the more technically-inclined or those who simply are curious about the way animation is done, with a whole tour through the process, from story reels, to layout, animation, simulation (a key component in the level of perfection accomplished with Sulley's fur and the way Boo's big shirt works) ahd shading/lighting. Same thing is done with design and music & sound. Wrapping up the goodies is a pretty fun tour of Pixar studios where you can catch a glimpse of why these guys are able to come up with such a funny movie: they're having a blast there! :D Technical comments
-If you view the DVD on a computer (as I did), the first time you do it, you will go through the installation of the InterActual player software. Hit "Accept" at every step of the way: whether you like it or not, you won't be able to take advantage of all the elements in the DVDs unless you view it using this software...
-Another detail for computer users: the "Peek-A-Boo Door game" was useless on my computer. It's designed to be played when viewing the DVD on a DVD player. In fact, it almost brings my laptop to its knees. So, my recommendation to you DVD-viewers using a computer to go past the intro page with all the games on it and click on to view the movie.
-Subtitles included are in English only, so that probably will not make Spanish-only or French-only-speaking viewers too happy, n'est-ce pas? Verdad? In general, though, excellent! Five stars to this incredible production by Disney and to its Two-Disc Collector's Edition. You will enjoy every bit of it and watch it several times over.

Summary: Great movie
Review: I love this movie, my 17 month old loves this movie, and my husband loves this movie! Good thing because we've had to watch it at least 25 times since we bought it. The details are incredible and soo real, they way the fur blows on Sully in the blizzard to the way Boo runs along picking up cheerios just like a toddler would. This is a great family movie, even if we didn't have a child, we still would have watched it. We loved Shrek and in comparison, this one is way better! Soo glad we spent the money on it.

Summary: A Real Family Movie
Review: If you think you're going to buy this for your kids, think again. This is a movie that will hook a viewer in seconds. It has the most important ingredient of any film, a great script.
Critics seemed to think that Monsters, Inc. was more kid oriented than Pixar's previous efforts ( Toy Story; Toy Story 2; A Bug's Life), but try getting up and walking away when it's on. You have to own the DVD so you can pause when you need to.
Pixar has a phenomenal record in the movie business so far: It's batting 1,000.
